Chapter 333 Petition

Qin Sheng choked and said, "I can't just keep circling around this snowman."

Just as he finished speaking, a nonchalant voice suddenly rang out from the courtyard gate: "Yeah, Third Brother, why is there only play on your mind?"

The two people in the yard were stunned at the same time and turned to look towards the gate.

Qin Rang leaned against the door with his arms folded across his chest, watching them with interest.

He was dressed in black and seemed even more handsome after not seeing him for several months.

Chu Yian was stunned for a moment before his eyes burst into surprise. He left Qin Sheng and ran to him, his eyes shining: "Second brother! Why are you back?"

Qin Rang raised his eyebrows, lowered his eyes to look at her, and raised the corners of his lips: "It's almost the New Year, so of course I have to come back. Why, you don't welcome me?"

Chu Yian bared his teeth and shook his head quickly: "Welcome, welcome, of course you are welcome. Where is the gift you brought me?"

I promised to bring her a gift when I left Beijing. I can't go back on my word.

Qin Rang choked, his eyes filled with resentment: "The gift is all you care about?"

Even if you ask for a gift, could you be more tactful?

Seeing Chu Yian's mercenary look made his eyes hurt. Qin Rang's eyes fell on the snowman, and he walked into the yard and said jokingly: "Your craftsmanship is good. When will you carve one for my second brother?"

Qin Sheng grabbed a handful of snow and threw it at him: "Carve it yourself."

Qin Rang didn't get angry even though snow was thrown in his face. He just tutted his tongue and said, "I know. I'm just trying to make your wife happy. You two are flirting, why should I, an outsider, get involved?"

Qin Sheng: ...

Qin Sheng looked at Chu Yian. Chu Yian pretended not to hear any of his nonsense. He looked at Qin Rang expectantly and asked again, "What gift did you bring me?"

Qin Rang: ...

After meeting, the man spoke to him three sentences, two of which were asking about gifts.

Qin Rang's eyes became even more resentful: "As expected, you only have eyes for gifts."

Without giving Chu Yian a chance to deny, he waved his hand and waited for the servants in the yard to leave before getting down to business: "What's going on? I was passing by the street today and saw the emperor posting another imperial edict."

He roughly stated the contents of the imperial edict.

Chu Yian was shocked. Still coming?

This time the question was even more extreme. He actually asked her if she knew about that blank period of history.

Although the tone was euphemistic, this was the meaning expressed in the words.

The only considerate thing was that he directly put the blame on those great scholars for his fake death in Zhuangyuan Building last time.

That group of people said they came to Dashun to seek advice from Mr. Dapeng, but in fact they were secretly inquiring about the situation in Dashun. Otherwise, why did Dashun and Ningguo start fighting not long after they returned?

They must have conveyed some information to Ningguo.

Dashun respected them and believed that scholars should not be involved in matters of family and country. However, they had evil intentions and ulterior motives, putting Dashun in a dilemma and killing so many soldiers in the army.

This war was entirely a conspiracy of Ningguo Confucian scholars and the Ningguo royal family led by Dong Jingwen.

Mr. Dapeng saw through their conspiracy early on, so he came up with a plan to counteract them.

Otherwise the war would have started long ago.

If it weren't for Mr. Dapeng, Dashun would have been busy dealing with the Huns while also having to deal with Ningguo. Fortunately, the time was staggered, otherwise Dashun would have been attacked from both sides and would have suffered heavy losses.

Mr. Dapeng had bought time for Dashun, and the war in the north was almost over before going to war with Ningguo. He was deeply impressed and also impressed by Mr. Dapeng's wisdom, blah blah...

In an instant, Dapeng was transformed into a capable and prophetic person, a god.

I watch you guys playing power games with a cold eye, while I remain unmoved and stir up trouble behind the scenes.

The air quieted down.

Chu Yian pointed at himself, looking confused: "Ah? Me?"

How come she didn't know how powerful she was?

Qin Sheng & Qin Rang: ...

Qin Sheng chuckled and couldn't help laughing: "So you want to go back?"

Qin Rang: "Tsk, so you really have a glimpse of history?"

Chu Yian blinked, nodded, and said firmly: "Yes."

Qin Rang's eyes were deep and gloomy. "That's right. Otherwise, with your brain, how could you write such a book?"

Chu Yian: ...

I want to curse him, but I have no reason to do so because he is telling the truth.

But I suggest you be more tactful next time.

Qin Sheng asked again: "Do you want to go back to him?"

Chu Yian shook his head: "I don't know, do you think I should go back?"

Qin Sheng shook his head: "Then I won't reply. Let them guess the truth themselves."

Qin Rang also said: "Don't bother with it. Just pretend that this book doesn't exist from now on."

Isn't it true that the hazy feeling is more intriguing? What's the point of saying it directly?

Since both brothers said so, Chu Yian naturally listened to them.

After chatting for a few words, Qin Rang left.

Before returning to his own yard, he went to Qin Huaishu's study and laughed for a long time in the study. He almost laughed himself to death before returning to the yard with satisfaction.

Qin Xinghuai and Tao Shi didn't come back until the night of the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. They spent some comfortable days outside without being disturbed by anyone, and they looked much better.

After they came back, they had no plans to buy New Year's goods.

Tao just wants his family to have a simple New Year and doesn't want to make it as complicated as in previous years.

Looking at the courtyard that had finally become lively again, Tao was very happy. The only regret was that Qin Huaishu could not come back to celebrate the New Year this year.

She packed some things and wrote a letter home to Qin Huaishu, saying that although he was not in the capital, everyone was thinking of him.

It has to be said that Mrs. Tao cares very much about each of her sons, especially when they are away from home, she misses them so much.

Qin Rang and Qin Sheng also wrote letters and sent them together. As one of his only two friends, Chu Yian naturally did not leave out.

In the evening, the family gathered together to drink some wine and chat.

It can be seen that Qin Xinghuai is very happy. He is undoubtedly the happiest person because the Qin family has broken free from its shackles.

Qin Sheng leaned close to Chu Yian's ear and lowered his voice and said, "Yian, thank you."

This thank you should have been said long ago.

It can be said that without Chu Yian, there would be no Qin family today, and he would not be able to live such a free life as he does now.

He might even get involved with Qi Ze and the others, and his mind and eyes will always be filled with power and interests.

Always as ridiculous as before, with no idea what I really want.

The Qin family is what it is today, and he is what he is today, and Chu Yian has made a great contribution.

Chu Yian turned his head to meet Qin Sheng's eyes, and seeing the sincerity in his eyes, he smiled happily: "Qin Sheng, thank you too."

Without Qin Sheng, she would be like most girls in the boudoir, getting married and having children, and not even being able to step out of the backyard.

In this strange world, I will always be just a spectator, bearing all the consequences of birth, old age, sickness and death by myself. I don’t know when I will die of anger in the backyard.

Qin Sheng was the first friend she made in this world and one of her only two friends. He made her feel a sense of belonging to this world, and she no longer felt isolated from everyone and lonely forever.

Qin Sheng's eyes narrowed.

Qin Xinghuai looked up and saw the couple looking at each other, and it was quite sweet.

He coughed and called out, "Yi An."

Chu Yian looked over and said, "Dad, what's wrong?"

After a moment of silence, he pulled out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over, with a rare melancholy look on his face: "Alas, I didn't want to give it to you. Life in Shengjing is relatively stable, and your friends are all in Shengjing."

"But after thinking about it, I still respect your decision. You can do whatever you want."

Chu Yian:?

Something mysterious.

She reached out to take the letter, tore it open and started reading, her eyes changing slightly.

Qin Sheng came over, his smile frozen on his face, but he quickly straightened his expression and asked, "Are you... going?"

There was nothing special about this letter. It was just a petition with many people's names written on it and many red fingerprints pressed on it. It was almost too big to fit on several sheets of paper.

Chu Yian’s deeds last month had spread to many places, and the news that she was appointed as the law enforcement officer also spread to the surrounding counties at the fastest speed.

With her guarding Shengjing, many unhealthy tendencies were eradicated, and the lives of the people improved visibly.

But Dashun was a large state with many people. Even if many people knew that she could seek justice for them, they would not be able to travel thousands of miles to Shengjing, and they could not even leave the county.

If possible, they hope Chu Yian can leave Shengjing and go somewhere else.

I hope that the injustice that happened to me will be redressed one day, and I hope that under Chu Yian's leadership, the atmosphere in various places can be cleared up, at least a little bit.

Chu Yian's hand holding the letter tightened little by little.

At this moment, the thin paper feels as heavy as a thousand pounds.
